1 | What is the most accurate version? | Bible general Archive 2 | Huron | 104523 | ||
I've read the NT over twenty times, and the Bible cover to cover about five times. I've used RSV, NIV, KJV, and NASB. I think that generally speaking NASB is the most accurate. NIV is very readable, but borders on an interpretation. Huron |

2 | What is the most accurate version? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 104555 | ||
It seems to me that in this discussion, some have in mind ABSOLUTE accuracy, while others are speaking of RELATIVE accuracy. I would say that RELATIVELY speaking, it is possible to answer the original question. Of course, this is only my opinion, which, according to some Forum readers, is absolutely no better and no worse than that of Bible translators themselves. :-) |

3 | What is the most accurate version? | Bible general Archive 2 | EdB | 104557 | ||
Kalos All I'm saying is when a direct word for word translation is not possible and a compromise must be made, who can say this word is more accurate than that word when neither exactly convey the meaning of the original? I may say I prefer this word but you might prefer another, does that make one of us wrong and the other right? No! What it really means is, to me this word most closely represents what I think the writer was saying and you think your word does the same. If we did this in honesty and a desire to be as faithful as we could, does it make one of us more accurate and the other less? I don't think so. EdB |
